That loop and others of the Andrew show something that we didn't/do not often see with a landfalling Hurricane on the N GOM coast, imo. That is a SOLID CORE eyewall, for lack of better terms. There are no breaks in that eyewall all the way to landfall when it finally starts to show some disruption to its' symmetry. Has anyone else noticed this? I am not trying to get into comparisons here. this is jsut something Ihave noticed.

Yes, I noticed that! It is a very well-organized eyewall!

Yeah its got a really great eyewall, not suprising though really considering it was a small category-5 on its run-up to Florida, most GOM storms are already wekening by the time they reach close enough for the radar to dectet.

Perhaps the deep, warm waters of the Gulf Stream have something to do with that. Thermal profile of the ocean right off the E coast of FL is much different than that right off the N Gulf Coast. But, it might also be due to the coloring scheme they chose to display the reflectivities. Lots of reds, so it may be misleading.
As for the +'s that intermittently appear... I believe that's just to track the velocities of individual cells when they become identifiable.
